VPN

Best VPN for Japanese streaming

Japan Stream Hub is an independent publisher. We may earn a commission if you buy a VPN or other service through links on this site, at no extra cost to you. Rankings will follow dated tests, not payment.

This is the comparison page. It stays without a #1 pick until we connect to Tokyo or Osaka servers and press play on TVer, ABEMA, and U-NEXT from outside Japan.

What the test will record

• Date, city of the tester, and device.
• Whether the Japan server connected on the first try.
• Whether playback started after a cookie reset / private window.
• Whether a server hop was required.

Using a VPN to appear in Japan may violate a streaming service’s terms. We will say so on the finished comparison, next to the affiliate links.
